Label copy

Like other commodities, ceramics traversed great distances along trade routes. While spices and silks traveled on camelback via the Silk Road, ships carried Chinese blue and white porcelains west to Europe and North America and east to Mexico and Europe. Trade spread ceramic processes, decorations, and related adaptations along the way.
